ICS official update problem (Intalling applications screen freeze) - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, like the title says I'm having problem after installing via Odin the ICS official. My phone is ITV no brand.
I downloaded the XEO version as suggested here
XEO (Poland) Also has CSC (CPW, DBT, ITV, KOR, XEF, XEU) : Download Mirror: Download Mirror 2: Download Torrent: Download
The flash goes well but after reboot, and after each reboot the phone remains stucked on a black screen where there is the icon of Kies air with written "Installing applications".
I'm able to access the task manager by long-pressing the home button but the home never appears!!!
Anyone has any clue about this issue?

Did you factory reset the phone before flashing ICS ??
I did that amd im not having any problems as yet!

No, no factory reset but it should not be mandatory.... I mean reading the official thread it seems that a lot of people are flashing without doing the wipe or factory reset...
I don't think that should be the problem...

Do not consider the previous post. It was actually that!
After a hard-reset (done using buttons combo) the problem is vanished!!!
Thanks a lot!!!

Did you do the factory reset as suggested (regardless of whether you think you should do one or not) ?

Dear noob, restart and hard reset is not the same. To hard reset, you need to turn off your device. Then, keep pressing volume up, home and power button. Your device should now turn on and go to the recovery. Next, select the option to factory reset. Now you're done.
Your gaming record will of course lose. To not lose it, go back to GB first and backup your data using titanium backup. Restore it when flashing back to ICS

However it is quite an annoying issue!
I mean, it is an official update, I was really hoping to update without problems so I haven't made any backups before

I had the same problem, and found that it was caused when I didn't remove the SD card after the update.
Removing the SD card solved the problem and the "Installing Applications" was going on.

The first thing I would try would be doing a full wipe. I suppose you just flashed it on top of GB.

I did the same thing (flashed XXLPQ on top of GB), and I'm having the same problem. No lock screen/phone isn't going into sleep mode. Long-pressing the power button gives no options but simply turns off the phone. So I've decided to do a full wipe, but at the risk of sounding like a total noob, what do I need to do exactly? I've already gone through CWM Recovery mode, wiped all the data and user cache. Also did a factory reset. That brought the phone back to default settings, but yet still on ICS, with still the same problems. I reflashed ICS and still no good. Obviously I'm doing something wrong, but what do I do? I'm thinking I'm meant to revert back to GB, or maybe even back to the original stock build (though I didn't backup the ROM). But I'm also wondering how that would work without causing problems, since I'd be flashing an old GB build on top of ICS.
In short: I'm a noob and I don't know what to do. Please help!
Edit: I never lost the "NO" keystr file in my efs/imei folder.
Edit 2: FIXED! Both lock screen and power button options are back.
Despite having retained the keystr file, it was actually necessary to fix it up... Here's how I did it (make sure your device is rooted):
Download "Android Terminal Emulator" from the Play Store. Just open it and type in this code:
su
echo -n ON > /efs/imei/keystr
sync
reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And that's it.
I have since turned off my phone and turned it back on and it is still working fine, so you shouldn't have any problems retaining the file upon reboots. I hope this solves your problem.

Network Problems after upgrading to ICS

In summary I have upgraded to ICS (Official), but am unable to connect to my carrier network and some of the OS seems missing; If I long press my power button I don't get the device menu, it just turns off.
Full details:
I am on a South African network, and the ROM shipped with my device is I9100XWKI4_I9100OJCKI1_XFA. I downloaded two variants of the new ICS ROM from link;XWLP7 & XXLPQ and I downloaded the latest Odin.
From there I followed these instructions:
Extract the firmware
Open the included Odin
Put your device in Recovery MODE (Home + Volume up + Power)
Wipe Data/Factory reset
Wipe Cache
Take Out Your battery & put it back in
Put your device into Download MODE (Home + Volume Down + Power)
Click PDA and select *.tar.md5
Then finally click START!
On both ROMs, following the PASS message my phone rebooted, and everything starts up perfectly; Applications get installed and so on. Only one big problem, I can not connect to a carrier network (The OS also never prompts me to unlock my SIM card). When I bring down my network menu (swipe down) it says Emergency Calls Only. I then figured I would try and manually select a carrier network, so I went and scanned for networks and selected Vodacom. I then get an error message saying "Error cannot connect". I also don't seem to have access to the menu one gets when holding down the power button, if I hold it down the device shuts down; no silent, power off, etc menu.
This happens with both of the rom variants I have. After trying everything in my limited knowledge I gave up, found and downloaded the old I9100XWKI4_I9100OJCKI1_XFA rom. I am now back on that rom and everything is working fine.
I have also tried following these steps: link
Except I restore factory settings and wipe cache before deploying the ROM. I then sought the help of a fellow Droid user from the South African forums, who suggested that I flash onto the old Dutch firmware (GT-I9100_XEN_I9100XWKJ3_I9100XENKJ1_I9100XXKI4). After confirming it worked and I could get onto the network, I took the SIM out and did a proper firmware upgrade via KIES. The upgrade went in without any issue, BUT after the upgrade the problem was still there; no carrier network, no power button menu.
After further fiddling I figured that the OS not asking for my SIM PIN must be one of the causes of my issue, so I went to my settings and turned SIM security off and on. After doing so, suddenly the device hopped onto my carrier network. This did not solve the issue though, as I have to do this after every reboot.
I have checked to ensure my IMEI number is fine, and it is 100%. When I flashed to the XEO version, I could get into the *#272* menu and change my CSC. After doing so, problem was still there.
I am now totally confused as to what on earth could be causing the issue, especially considering other people on the same device with the same carrier seem to be able to flash without hassle - does anyone have any suggestions, or ideas? Come on XDA!
Try checking the efs\imei folder to see if the keystr file is there. If its not, make one with the value 1. Search the q and a forum for more info
Can this be done without rooting my phone?
EDIT: Required rooting. Was the missing "keystr" file in my EFS/IMEI directory (link)

How stable is the firmware 4.0.4 for I9100G

Hi
I have a 4.0.3 france firmware installed samsung I9100G.But lately the no lockscreen problem (holding the power button will not bring the options and just shuts the phone off),ringtone and a few other problems started to annoy me really bad.
I'm thinking to install the 4.0.4 german firmware from samfirmware but how stable is it? is there any problem with the 4.0.4 or anything special i should know about it?
i have reflashed the 4.0.3 but those problems didnt go away.
thanks for any helps.
Go back to GB.For me that is more stable than ICS or JB.

If the firmware is official, it should be stable. So, your choice: or GB, or ICS.

updated to 4.0.4 but nothing changed.
ok here are the problems:
- The power button options are not showing up. if i hold the power button it just closes the phone directly.
- The screen lock doesnt work. Wont lock the screen with any option there.
- The sim lock doesnt work. If i put the sim lock on (put a lock on the sim) the phone starts normally but wont let me call or text. So i have to disable the lock on the sim to make it work normal.
Now these are the problems i have seen so far. When i got the phone it was GB and there was absolutely no prob until updating to ICS. So whats the suggestion, should i give a try on custom firmware ICS or go back to official GB? if you say custom firmware then which one?

It's always recommended to perform a factory reset after upgrading your phone software

For me the samsung stock roms are like windows o/s.
GB=xp
Ics=vista
Jb=w7
A crude comparison......but vista was a pile of crap.....

1. If your phone is not rooted, root.
2. Create file /efs/imei/keystr, containing the word ON.
3. Make sure the file has rw-r--r--, or 644 permissions.
4. ...
5. Profit!

ok thank you very much bro. that did it
i first rooted the phone from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679778 with the option 2.
then used this little guide:
- Download "Terminal Emulator" app from market
- open it
- type into the command:
su
echo -n ON > /efs/imei/keystr
sync
Go to home, force close your terminal app, shut your screen off, and when your turn it back on your lock screen should? be there.
Obviously you must be rooted the "su" command
And for Signal Problem Simply do not put any pin on your sim ,,,

850f Lollipop issue

Hi Guys,
Had a problem with the lolipop upgrade on my 850f.
I was BTU (Unrooted) before on 4.4.
after flashing the XEF lollipop via odin, i went to recovery to wipe device and it wiped most except for E: for which it gave an error (E: unknown volume for path /sbfs) - i ignored the error and proceeded ahead.
Unit reboots perfectly, all OK except for the left capacitive key. the light on it works but it doesnt detect anything, i tried the *#0*# option to check if its picking up anything but the key is unresponsive.
i know its not a HW issue since it was working perfectly before the lollipop flash.
i have wiped by device twice after that and get the same 2 problems, the E: error during wipe and the left capacitive key is not working.
any suggestions?

ah okay, you tried flashing 502 again after your key works in 444? also what versio of odin did you use? i used 3.10...
would be good to know what others used who arent having this problem.
I have flashed it 4 times, still same problem. Even after flashing 4.4.4. Tried both 3.10 and 1.85 odin. Same problem

interesting.... it seems like a fw bug but its wierd that not many are affected by it.
i would like to know or pin point whats causing this.
were you on BTU before you upgraded to 502?
did you encounter the E: unknown volume for path /sbfs error?
do you think the firmware file we downloaded had a corruption?

interesting buddy, sounds like both the error are related..?
anyone had the E: error but the left soft/capacitive key still works after the update to 502?
same problem
left softkey not working
Did you get the E: error during the device wipe?
We all have G850F model, the only difference is the SCS, aka for which market our phones are made for, mine is originally XEH (Hungary), converted to XEF, and i don't have that problem. Why don't people who have issues with left softkey say for which market are their phones made for, maybe we can narrow it down.
Someone with a Galaxy Alpha "SM-G850A" (the at&t) model posted a very similar problem here. His left softkey stopped working after the update and as there is no Stock firmware file available for the A model he was pretty much struck with a broken device. So i don't think it has anything to do with ODIN or CSC. the guy with atnt phone updated his via OTA the bug HAS TO BE in the firmware but so far only a few devices have been affected. This is the real question here.
mine was btu and i flashed the firmware via odin 3.10
after the update i reset and saw the e: error and once device booted the left key was dead.
is usb debugging have something to do with it?
i try to reflash and wipe today
it still problem.
left key is dead

Originally the CSC was XEH (Hungary) I updated the phone with the XEF FW and I also get the /sbfs error in recovery. Although everything seems to for except on thing: Doing a firmware upgrade and initialization in KIES it sets the CSC to TPH (Portugal) and now displays tww versions for the CSC. So from that time KIES doesn't recognize the phone as a stock device.
Cannot go back to the original FW even if I download it from sammobile since I cannot set the CSC without root privileges
Does any body know a solution for this issue?

after installing xef with odin - no problems, all buttons work, no overheating, good performance
i have flashed the firmware without enabling usb debugging
maby one of you with issues should try flashing without usb debug enabled like in my post from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60519632&postcount=10
I had the same problem, and I did this:
Went to Chrome - Settings - Combine Tabs and Apps. I deactivated the option, and by mistake, hit the back button, and started working.
Eventhough the option is Deactivated, when I press the left button, I can see Chorme's tabs wtithin the Recents Apps.
After that had to install and app from Google Play, and after doing so, the button stopped working again. I restarted de phone, and 20 minutes later, the button started working. I have no clue of what's going on.

[Q] S6 Edge keeps random rebooting after OTA update MM 6.0.1 update

Hey guys,
since 2-3 weeks i'm using the 6.0.1 official version which i got via OTA update (everything original on my phone, no root, no flashing any software) for my international S6 Edge.
First i noted havy battery drain and uninstalled a few apps. A weather widge forced the heacy battery drain and my phone worked fine.
Since 4 Days i have problems with random reboots. It started with some reboots a day and now it keeps rebooting after i unlocked sim card and want to use my phone. I managed to put my phone in flight mode and i were able to make a backup of my userdata via samsung smartswitch. I initialized the phone via the software and it flashed the newest version. After it finished it booted up and in the language selection screen it keeps rebooting.
I read about corrupted files due update from version 5.x to 6.0.1 and thought to wipe the phone and flash newest software via smartswitch would fix the problem but my phone is not usable anymore.
Maybe you have any advice for me?
Thanks for your further help!

Hi borth87
As it won't get worst, I suggest to flash a clean Stock version.
From SamMobile find the latest firmware for your device model.
After, for the download, I suggest you to use:
[TOOL] SamFirm - Samsung firmware downloader & checker
Just provide Model+Region and it will find you the newer firmware available. Please, before download, check the boxes: CRC32 & Decrypt
Flash the above using the lastest Odin v3.11.1
- Open Odin
- Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
- Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
- Add the firmware file downloaed to AP / PDA
- Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
- Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes
Let us know your path.
Nice regards.

Thanks for the reply.
Will the flashing via odin touch the knox warranty?

Hi B
No. Just flashing Sammobile firmwares via ODIN will NOT trip knox.
Have fun.

Did the downgrade to 5.1.1 i and problems are still the same... I think i will send it to repair
I got back my phone from repair. They switched Mainboard and some minor parts.
Everything is working fine now. As it was warranty i dont have to pay for the change.

Hi.
I has the same problem. I tried to flash all of firmwares (always STOCK), but it's failed with ODIN all times. Samsung Smart Switch PC software say system repair succesfull (with emergency update repair), but the problem keep joke with me.
Phone don't repond without charger. With PC connection, i don't allow to run restore mode, only ODIN mode. With Wall charger adapter, i allow to run restore mode, odin mode, safe system mode, normal system, but i wiped cache, i do factory reset, i rebooted in bootloader and rebooted system as normal. When i run system in normal mode, language selection show up, and when i press next, phone reboot. When i run system in safe mode, i can select my language, and i can connect to my WiFi, but after i press NEXT at wifi list, phone reboot.
So in safe mode i able to do more one step, but system keep rebooting. Charging screen show battery at 89-90% all times, system start updating battery status from 1% to 100% (1 percent/ 1.5 sec).
Some times red-green-blue-purple rows show at Samsung logo and i got bootloop. Like when i put off my battery from my old phone.
